A recently completed project just outside Blackpool, delivered by one of our members — transforming the property with a dormer conversion alongside a substantial two-storey extension to create a high-quality, future-ready living space for its new occupants.

This project was delivered with a strong focus on:
• Effective programme and cost management
• Coordinated delivery across multiple trades
• High build quality and full regulatory compliance throughout

Combining a dormer conversion with a large two-storey extension requires careful planning, precise sequencing, and close collaboration to maximise space, functionality, and long-term performance — particularly on larger residential schemes.

A fantastic result and another quality project successfully completed.
